Description
Notice: For those who already downloaded the first two ZIP files, there are now 4 new scenery files to download, expanding and cleaning the initial published city center! Also important to acknowledge, you need these 6 parts if you wish to use my Table Mountain RSA add-on, otherwise its terraforming won't work and you'll see a huge hole in the mountainside. The downloads are big, altogether, but they make for a very immersive experience.
Following a suggestion, here comes the city center, immediate surroundings and main marina of Cape Town in South Africa. The scenery is based on Google Maps with level of detail (LOD) 17–19, visually very good but offering good performance. In this one I left the GM ground textures show on top as it seemed to work the best this way.
Extensive terraforming was applied throughout and for this reason you really need to install all the parts to avoid ground anomalies.
The whole city with its around 3,5 million inhabitants covers a huge area — this area shows the most recognizable buildings. The location afoot the famous Table Mountain is stunning, and the ocean stretches to the south as far as eye can see. It's not a great distance to many wildlife and national parks. The city has two airports very close by.
INSTALLATION
I was just told that the ZIP folders don't have the main folders which should "house" the contents. (When I download a ZIP from this add-on I don't have this problem, everything comes out ok, so it might be a very specific issue for some users.) Therefore, if you get "bare files" and subfolders without the main folder you need to do this additional step, sorry for that. Unzip the first downloaded ZIP file, then create an empty folder on your desktop which you should name the same way as the ZIP file (for example the first, "keinowaara-cape-town1"), place the contents from the opened ZIP there. Do the same with the two remaining (until "...town6"), then place the resulting folders inside your MSFS 2024 Community folder. Have fun! :)

EDIT: It isn't compatible with ORBX (double buildings) ie with the skyscrapers but I'll still happily keep this on.

Tampere City Finland
This add-on features a Google Maps-based import of Tampere, Finland, covering the city and its surroundings in the first of several planned parts. Tampere is the third largest city in Finland, set amidst lakes, forests, and a rich architectural landscape. The scenery uses LOD levels 17 to 19 for a balance of detail and file size, although some texture and tree rendering limitations are present. Users may experience heavier system load due to uncompressed textures and additional map details.
